Does the IS300 handle better stock for stock then the sc300? Does the steering feel better? Does it have better potential?

Anyone drive these two back to back?

The Sc has a longer wheelbase too right?

I drove both IS definately handles better. A sport sedan vs luxury coupe. Sport Sedan will win in handling most of the time.

SCV8

They both weigh in at close to the same, I'll take the longer wheelbase and wider track of the SC myself.
I'm sure the IS is fun to drive since a smaller car generally feels easier to control most of the time, especially if you're weaving in and out of traffic like most agressive IS drivers can do so well.
The dealer had one on hand, and was trying to talk me into one when I was looking at used SCs.

Yes IS handles better and manual IS has a sport suspension which improves that slightly and you can get an LSD. I still want a 5speed sc as a second car though.
